Directions:

Bring a pot of water with 1 tbsp sea salt to a boil. Cook spaghetti until al dente (usually 2-3 minutes minus the recommended time). Drain and set aside the pasta, reserving a small cup of the pasta water.

Heat saucepan with 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add mushrooms, a pinch of salt and black pepper. Stir fry or saute until cooked, about 3 minutes. Set aside cooked mushrooms on a plate.

Turn off the stove. The garlic will continue cooking in the hot oil on its own for a few more seconds in the hot oil, until they turn a lovely golden brown. Melt cubed butter in the garlic & oil mixture.

This is my favourite aglio olio recipe!
I’ve tried cooking it myself, with my friends and even shared the recipe with my mum. Of course, no one cooks it like mum does!
Thank you so much for this recipe; it has become a quick go-to recipe for lazy dinners in my house. :)
